Rights body backed
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Thailand has backed work by the Asean Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) in tackling rights violations, aiding migrant workers and apprehending transnational criminals in the region.

After a meeting yesterday with Asean civil-society representatives such as Chalida Thacharoensak from the Community Potential Foundation about the AICHR's duty framework, acting Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow affirmed that Thailand gave importance to AICHR and supported its work to promote and protect human rights in the Asean region.

Urging the organisation to tackle the above-mentioned issues that affected the region, he said Thailand also backed private-sector help to curb problems in each country.

Thailand is due to host a special AICHR meeting on human rights in Bangkok in November.

Go for it Thailand.

Be aware you may find in your midst a fascist military dictatorship that stifles free speech, the press, what people read, TV, the internet, locks up people who disagree with it, and of all things, does nothing so far to free slaves on fishing boats.

Maybe you can shepherd that issue and free the Asean are of those problems.

Lighten up Francis. I see you are still able to blubber on with your Thakin lover rantings, so your freedoms don't seem to have been curtailed much...

I said something about that ****** Thaksin? Or did you mean "Thakin." Francis?

Thailand is due to host a special AICHR meeting on human rights in Bangkok in November? That would be good timing IF elections were held in October as planned by the junta, whatever those elections might be. However, if the elections are a mere sham of democracy or delayed until some time after the scheduled AICHR meeting, AICHR might question the logic of having such a meeting in Thailand if it finds Thailand's professed policies are inconsistent with its practices - becomes a trust issue.
